Milnor admitted the need for an additional highway leading from the north but described the proposed route as being "altogether inadequate, unsafe and too expensive." He cited these reasons: 1. The necessity for making a right angle turn off the River road and from the Linglestown road to the proposed highway. 2. Creation of new traffic haz ard one at the intersection of the River and Linglestown roads and the other at the intersection of the Linglestown road and' the one proposed. 3 It will be too expensive "due to the length and the na ture of the territory through which it must be constructed.
